| Course description |
|
Currently, high performance computers consist of multiple computers connected via network and perform parallel processing efficiently. In this class, we discuss processor technologies especially on cache memory in a computing system. Cache technology for multi-processing is discussed, too. |
| Expected Learning |
| Advanced knowledge on inner processor architecture and system architecture for the future advanced computing system. |
| Course schedule |
|
